Someone who's better at physics will have to tell me if this is the right approach, but assuming a weight of about 3200 lbs for the Koenigsegg and 1400 lbs for a top fuel dragster - oops, forgot to include the driver.
Plus 175 lb driver...I see the Koenigsegg attaining a kinetic energy of 6.1 million Joules in 17.7 sec, and the top fuel dragster attaining a KE of 7.9 million Joules in 4.5 sec, using your numbers, dmz. So the dragster must be producing about 4500 hp, if the Koenigsegg is about 1100 hp (they quoted 1115). Does that sound about right?
